"The hands free options are easy to use and I use the bluetooth connectivity to play music and make phone calls"

Bob»VA»2015 Ford F-150Purchased Jan 2016|Verified

Outstanding combination of Power and yet High gas milage for a truck. Very convenient cabin design with comfortable seats and logical layout of controls. Excellent visibility and it feels very safe. Easy to maneuver. Very high points for quality of construction and durability. Outstanding engineering went into the design and it shows in performance, convenience, handling and a fun driving experience. Keep moving SYNC closer to state-of-practice for wireless connectivity while maintaining a system that cannot be hacked.

I am just amazed at the quality, performance and drivability of my new F-150. The power of the 2.7L twin turbo engine is awesome and yet it gets great gas milage. It has nice torque and it never feels like it is struggling to keep up with my driving habits. I have the Extended Cab version without the upscale packages, yet it looks and feels like it is upscale. The hands free options are easy to use and I use the bluetooth connectivity to play music and make phone calls. Works great!!! Ford has pulled of an impressive engineering feat with the new F-150. I'm really enjoying it, and it is worth the money...

"Also you need to put in some outstanding noise deadening & silencing material in the headliner and roof top"

Douglas»NC»2016 Ford F-150Purchased Jun 2016|Verified

Good tuck, the F-150, but as I have stated before if I had driven one before buying it, I would not have due to the absolutely awful poor designed electric power steering now in this 2016 model F-150 Lariat Supercab Ford truck. Otherwise, it is fine for me. I am wore out after taking a short trip in it, 25–50 miles my arms are tired and my elbows are aching. Worst power steering ever driven. My 1965 Mustang 289 V-8 with only power-assisted power steering is 100 times better and still a joy to drive, and it still has the 51-year-old technology in it as came from Factory. I will never buy another FORD Product till you go back to the original power steering prior to the poorly designed and operating electric mess they call power steering, and we are a Ford Family going back over 75 years. You need to clean up your act here Ford. Also you need to put in some outstanding noise deadening & silencing material in the headliner and roof top. When it is raining hard, you cannot hear the radio and or people talking to you.

"The voice recognition system needs work; it's not reliable"

Jon»MI»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Mar 2016|Verified

I have a few suggestions for the truck. The voice recognition system needs work; it's not reliable. I also want one button to close/open all the windows (even the sunroof), perhaps a programmable macro button. I wish the truck were a little easier to park, and a built-in tonneau cover that is retractable with the key fob would be great. I wish the mirrors would fold automatically when I put the vehicle in park. I would like the camera button to rotate the rear camera so I can see behind me without having to be in reverse. Also, the center console needs dividers in the middle, as opposed to the deep well it has now. One of the cupholders should be larger to accommodate bigger containers. There should be better accommodation for the iPhone's largest size, maybe in a built-in phone dock. I would like a smoother ride. The truck is pretty bumpy, and passengers tend to slide around when I'm making sharp turns. The seats should hold riders in place. As for the radio, when I want to switch between presets I hit the "m" button on the steering wheel and it changes from AM to FM to satellite, but I just want a button to keep me within a certain mode and only toggle through the presets. The navigation is too tedious to use. The system needs to be able to bring up addresses based on contacts in my phone. The climate system takes too long to cool/heat cab, and when I use remote start it doesn't heat/cool the cab fast enough. I have the driver's seat programmed to move back and the steering wheel to move up when exiting the vehicle. I wish they would only move into place when turning the engine on, not when in power aux mode. I also think my gym bag/groceries move around too much in the back seat. I had to swap out the antenna because it was too long.

I still hate the electronic power steering and the effort it takes to turn wheels at all times.

My new 150 came with small side mirrors. Because I tow a trailer, I wanted to install the towing mirrors, but because of the way Ford designed the 150, the towing mirrors won't work on my truck. Makes me very unhappy as well as being unsafe. This should be changed!!!!

Originally Reviewed on Nov 20, 2016

I purchased F-150 with the 3.5 EcoBoost engine to pull my travel trailer. It had the tow package but not the towing side mirrors. I planed to get the towing mirrors through the Ford parts department, but after I purchased the vehicle, I found out that on a 150 designed and advertised as a towing machine you can't put on "towing mirrors" unless it comes from the factor with them. A truck advertised as great for towing, but you can't put towing mirrors on it. That doesn't make sense to me. I had to buy manual towing mirrors for my new truck. Not very happy about that!!! Also, after driving my new truck for a week, I discovered that there was a flaw in the windshield. It had a distortion in the glass that made a wavy appearance when looking through the windshield. I started working with the dealership the end of August, and it is now the middle of November, and I just now got the word that Ford will replace the windshield. Really 2 1/2 months to replace a bad windshield on a vehicle I just paid $36,000 for??

"Would be nice to have perimeter sensors for parking assist, rather than just on the rear"

Mike»TX»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Sep 2016|Verified

Steering wheel controls need to include the ability to turn on the audio. Perhaps using the center or (Source) button as a dual purpose button to power the audio on when it is in an "off" state, and selecting the source when it is in an "on" state. Rather than having to let go of the steering wheel to turn on the audio system. The overhead console's user friendliness and intuitiveness have missed the mark in my opinion. The overhead controls for lighting and sunroof could use an overall redesign. It's too hard to see the icons and determine which button does what, especially while driving. Could be quite a bit more intuitive...Integrating the overhead lights into the lenses could be a great start. Dead zone highlight (gray zone around vehicle) on screen when using the cameras could be much more useful. It creates too much guessing about what is where...Would be nice to have perimeter sensors for parking assist, rather than just on the rear.

Jane»SC»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Mar 2016|Verified

Interior style is incredible for a truck, comfortable beyond your belief, ride is equally as good if not better than a CTS, SYNC is exceptional, exciting to drive, SONY radio is awesome, exceptionally quiet ride, steering wheel controls are all right there, Ford creates duel system controls for everything, tires are a plus, towing ability/controls exceed my expectations, wish we had a step built into the tailgate, gas mileage better then expected for a V8, & the overall quality of the vehicle is incredible.

Having driven passenger cars for personal & professional use, I desired something different & fun to drive. Having done my research/homework & discussed with my wife for almost a year, we agreed to take a chance on purchasing a pickup, a nice one. I can now say, "I Luv My Truck" & so does my wife. We drive 'er everywhere we go together because it's fun & comfortable. A plus is the towing & hauling capabilities. Needless to say, we're extremely happy with our purchase.

"Be sure to put something heavy in the bed of the truck or the rear may beat you to your destination"

Luther»NC»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Jan 2016|Verified

Check your new truck before you drive off the lot for engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, windshield washer bottle, power steering fluid. Mine came without any touching the dip stick. Be sure to put something heavy in the bed of the truck or the rear may beat you to your destination. Engine hasn't got the power to do as advertised. Major engine part already failed at 15K miles, had to replace throttle body.

Updated on Jul 25, 2016

In 150 miles, brake warning lights come on. Insufficient brake fluid in reservoir, not even up to the min line...So I checked engine oil and could not find sign of oil on dip stick. Power steering low, coolant low, and there was nothing in the windshield washer bottle.

Had I known what I know now I would have never purchased this vehicle. It hits a small imperfection in the road and will change lanes by itself above 45 mph. Unable to give the driver any confidence when loaded or towing light loads. Engine very weak, transmission down shifts two to three gears when power is needed with a tremendous jolt. Not at all what I was looking for.

Thomas»MI»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Apr 2016|Verified

I have several pros/cons and comments, not in order of importance. Cons: heater control visibility; rough ride; finding buttons like dimmer, fog, door locks, seat tilt back lever; side visibility. Pros: mileage; power controls good for only an LX; seats; hard cover; extended warranty; stays in 6th gear even with trailer tow; locking tailgate; power window auto up; console; rear door swings all the way open; locking box cover with same key; space on dash so things don't slide; and quiet engine.

"Try to refine the console and door components to an upgraded composite material"

Robert»FL»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Mar 2016|Verified

This truck is loaded with the latest technology, which complements the overall driving experience and elevates that experience to very high level. The ride is very firm and stable in all road conditions, and I feel safe and in control at all times. I would also add that on the highway the ride is smooth and relaxing, while very quiet, eliminating tire and road noise at a level I had not experienced before. I also like the overall appearance of the vehicle. It sits high with a considerable amount of road clearance, which I need for towing and launching my boats. The lines are smooth and appealing, yet it still has the rugged and buffed appearance I desire from an off road model. Try to refine the console and door components to an upgraded composite material. The appearance in some areas looks like cheap and inexpensive plastic and detracts from the fit and finish of the dash and seat areas. Carpet quality could be enhances some too.

I ordered the 9-inch screen display with all options, and I thought GPS came with the vehicle. However, I found out it does not, and the GPS option can't be added later. A real disappointment. I must still use a separate GPS unit for travel. This was my only disappointment.

My previous 2012 Ford F-150 and my current 2016 Ford F-150 have the same 3.5L EcoBoost engine and the same towing setup. The 2012 mpg avg was 20 mpg no towing and 16 mpg avg towing, with towing capacity approx. 8900. The 2016 mpg avg is 16 mpg no towing and 13 mpg towing. The 2016 is 700 lbs lighter per manufacturer with 12,500 towing capacity. I am disappointed with mpg with the 2016.

Peter»FL»2018 Ford F-150|Purchased Feb 2018|Verified

I wish Ford had kept the older method of actually using air conditioning to cool the driver/passenger seats rather than swithing to fan only sytem. It doesn't cool nearly as well as what I had on my previous 2012 F50 Platinum Edition especially here in Florida. Also, the horn button doesn't work at the top of center housing on all new F150s and I believe this is a situation that could cause an accident in an emergency situation. Cruise control switches are in an awkward place on steering wheel and center console fan switches need to be bigger and in a better location. Also, the blindspot system isn't as good as on our Mazda 6! It actually gives an audible alarm if you inadvertantly move into an occupied lane whereas the F150 sytem just shows an orange ligh in the mirror! This really sucks and I hope Ford fixes this on thereir 2019 vehicles!!!

"Also, the headlight high beam switch operates backward"

Patrick»MI»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Apr 2016|Verified

The truck's traction control default should be off, not on. Also, the headlight high beam switch operates backward. I preferred the console style of the 2012 F-150. I have noticed that occasionally the main screen remains dark after starting the vehicle, and voice recognition does not always work. I'd also like to see the antilock feature reconfigured so that doors unlock when the vehicle is put into "park." The truck bed needs to be six inches longer.

"It also looks sharp, has a 5-star crash rating, and there's plenty of get up and go"

Jennifer»IN»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Feb 2016|Verified

This truck is a great ride. There's room in the rear seats, it gets good mpg for a truck, and there's enough HP to make it fun to drive. It also looks sharp, has a 5-star crash rating, and there's plenty of get up and go. I still think it needs a voltage gauge plus a boost gauge for the turbos.

Updated on Jun 7, 2016

I would like the bed to fit a 6' ladder, but my biggest complaints are: There is no voltage gauge and no boost gauge for the turbos. With all the electronics on this truck, a voltage or amp meter should be automatic. Besides those two big points, I do love my new truck. One more mild complaint is the A/C should get colder. It's a minor detail. The A/C it works well enough, but we have not hit summer yet. Ford has done a great job with the little 2.7 EcoBoost engine! It rocks, and I have only 5K on the truck; I haven't even pushed it yet.

"Steering smoothness around sharp corners in 4-wheel drive is unacceptable"

Vincent»PA»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Jan 2016|Verified

For its price and option level, It should have had floor lighting, I purchased cheap LED hat-brim lights so there was something to light the floor level at night, really a big miss by FORD! The optional sound system was far too expensive, so I got the standard system, would have been nice to have an in-between option. Steering smoothness around sharp corners in 4-wheel drive is unacceptable.

"I love the cooling seats"

Kelly»UT»2018 Ford F-150|Purchased Jun 2018|Verified

I don't like the cruise control setting going up so fast if I hold the button and don't watch the readout. I will set it at 120mph without paying attention.
I love the cooling seats. I like the massage seats. I like the backup/overhead camera view. That really helps for parking in the lines. I love the old man tailgate step and handle. I love the power running boards.
My wife's hands are always cold so she loves the heated steering wheel.

"I love the spacious Super Crew Cab and the option of the 6' 6" bed"

David»MI»2018 Ford F-150|Purchased Dec 2017|Verified

My Ford F-150 is everything I expected it to be. I am impressed with the power from the ECOBOOST engine. I love the spacious Super Crew Cab and the option of the 6' 6" bed. The all aluminum body is an industry first. I only regret not getting a leather interior. I'm really disappointed with the cloth seats, for a $52,000 truck. I also have a F-150 work truck with vinyl seats, that I prefer over the cloth fabric. Lint sticks to them and the material scuffs up, and won't vacuum clean.

"I wish it had a larger displacement engine than the 5.0 V8"

Mike»NM»2016 Ford F-150|Purchased Apr 2017|Verified

I wish it had a larger displacement engine than the 5.0 V8. All other engine options are smaller for this size vehicle. I would have to step up to the F250 model for a slightly larger displacement and would sacrifice some of the comfort and amenities of the F150.

"The technology Ford offers is superior and the fit and finish is superior"

It's more trustworthy, reliable, safe, and fun to drive than other trucks on the market. The technology Ford offers is superior and the fit and finish is superior. Ford is truly innovative in making more efficient engines and lighter, but stronger materials. Definitely a leader in the automotive industry.
